Awsim ibn Farid

Awsim ibn Farid (died May 1094) was a soldier of the Taifa of Valencia. In 1094, he was sent by emir al-Kadir to kill rioting crowds as they ravenously ate bread flung over the starving city's walls by the besieging army of El Cid, but he was pulled from his horse and killed by the rebellious populace.
